Swing
Adjusts the amount of swing or shuffle in the shaker pattern. Higher
values will result in a pattern with more swing. Note that
Swing
alone will result in quite a mechanical feel — for a more human
feel it is recommended to add some
Twist
as well (see below).
Available values range from 0.0 to 100.0% (default: 0.0%).
Twist
The
Twist
parameter “skews” the groove of the shaker pattern. On
its own, with the
Swing
parameter set to zero, it can sound very
strange and lopsided. However, used sparingly in conjunction with
Swing
, the
Twist
parameter gives the pattern a flowing, natural
groove, just like a real person playing a shaker. Available values
range from 0.0 to 100.0% (default: 0.0%).
Modulation Page
As with all other engines and Drumsynths, the
Modulation
page contains one parameter:
Veloc-

Velocity
Adjusts the velocity response of the drum. Available values range
from -100.0 % to 100.0 % (default value). At zero (mid course),
the drum is played at full velocity, no matter how hard you hit the
keys (or pads). From that mid position, by turning the knob to the
right you increase the positive velocity response and make the drum
more and more sensitive to the velocities at which you hit the keys/
pads. From the mid position, turning the knob to the left as the
inverse effect: the harder you hit the key/pad, the softer the
resulting drum sound will be.
